Treasury Board v. Professional Association of Foreign Service Officers
In the matter of a request for the Board to exercise any of its powers under section 43 of the Public Service Labour Relations Act
REASONS FOR DECISION
Before: David P. Olsen, Acting Chairperson
For the Applicant: Lynn Grenier-Beaulne, Treasury Board Secretariat
For the Respondent: Christina Dowler, Professional Association of Foreign Service Officers
Decided on the basis of written submissions
filed July 2 and 15, 2013.
Matter before the Board
1 On June 3, 2013, the Treasury Board ("the applicant") applied for an order declaring that position 510000 in the Foreign Service Group bargaining unit is a managerial or confidential position pursuant to section 71 of the Public Service Labour Relations Act.
2 As an objection had not been filed by the Professional Association of Foreign Service Officers (“the respondent”), the Public Service Labour Relations Board ("the Board") made an order on June 27, 2013, in PSLRB File No. 572-02-2803 declaring that position 510000 identified in the annex to that order is a managerial or confidential position.
3 On July 2, 2013, the applicant notified the Board that the applicant had provided the Board with erroneous information in support of its original application that led to the June 27, 2013 order in PSLRB File No. 572-02-2803. The applicant requested that the annex of that order be amended to reflect that position 510000 is located in the Department of Citizenship and Immigration.
4 On July 15, 2013, the respondent indicated it had no objection to the applicant’s request. Under these circumstances, the Board amends the annex to its order of June 27, 2013 in PSLRB File No. 572-02-2803, to delete the Treasury Board Secretariat as the department in which position 510000 is located and substitute it with the Department of Citizenship and Immigration.
5 For all of the above reasons, the Board makes the following order:
Order
6 The annex to the June 27, 2013, order in PSLRB File No. 572-02-2803 is amended to delete the Treasury Board Secretariat as the department in which position 510000 is located and substitute it with the Department of Citizenship and Immigration.
July 19, 2013.

Acting Chairperson
